 Kissing may seem like some harmless lip action, but my dear let me tell you that kissing leads to all sorts of emotions and at your tender age there ought to be no hurry to kiss boys. As long as you dont mean anything further than kissing i.e. sex because of course you know you are too young, but as I said, kissing sometimes leads to other stuff and you are far too young for that. Be a child first before you start being adult. Take care. xXx

 Usually with questions like "I'm so confused about sex" and "should I have a boyfriend" and "am I too young to (fill in the blank), the answer is:
If you have to ask other people whether you're ready, then you're not ready.
Twelve -- believe it or not -- is a great age. Try to live in the moment, doing things that you *know* are fun and interesting to you. It doesn't last that long, and at age 12 you don't have a lot of pressure on you to "hurry up and be something", like you do when you reach adolescence. You'll be thirteen, then twenty-five before you know it, and the very last vestiges of kid-dom are gone, never to return. Please try to enjoy being a kid! After all, you only get 12 or 13 years of childhood, then you're saddled with another 80 of Responsible Adulthood... and no refunds if you're not happy.
In short order, you'll be negotiating your way through high school and all the headaches that come with dating and sex and relationships. Please don't feel you have to push yourself before you're ready.
If you wonder if you're "too young" for all this, then you are. Don't do anything until it feels right and natural for you. And don't try to base your level of emotional development on anyone else's. Just look inside yourself and ask, "Does this feel right for me?" If not, don't do it.
By the way, that approach works for all sorts of decisions you'll have to make soon.
Take care! Good luck!

 Perhaps you have answered your own question.
Why the rush? There is plenty of time for all of that later. Just enjoy being 12, its a fun time and doesn't need to be complicated with things that you have years and years and years ahead of you to experience.
